Hi,

Right now we are having JAVA 1.2 installed in our test environment and OS is Solaris 5.8

I wanted to upgrade to atleast JAVA 1.5 as now days almost all frameworks requires this.

Please suggest that whether Solaris 5.8 will support JAVA 1.5 and if not what needs to be done for the upgradation?

Please let me know about this migration process online learning resource if any!

Thanks in advance,

Ashutosh Arya

Solaris 8 (5.8) is the official build platform for Java 5 (32-bit)

When going for Java 5 you will have to register with SUN/Oracle first
because the product already announced its End of Service Life (EOSL).

If you do so, you will get a link for download and also should receive
a list of Solaris patches required (if any).

On top of that, the package manager or shell script used for installation
will check for them patches.

Java 6, just download and install.

Hope that helps
Matt

Thanks Matt,

Can you provide me the link where I can go and register as I am not able to find the page on net!

Secondly I also wanted to ask that if I directly install java 1.5 on this version of solaris, will it work?

Thanks in advance,

Aashu

Why not go for Java 6 directly instead of going for a version which has reached EOL
